Green Bay Packers news, rumors and injuries

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent CB Jarrett Bush was arrested Sunday, March 1, on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication in Vacaville, Calif., police confirmed. According to police, Bush will not have charges pressed against him. There was a disturbance at a bar, and everyone was asked to leave. Bush didn't leave, and he was arrested, according to police.

The Green Bay Packers are working to re-sign impending free-agent WR Randall Cobb, according to a pair of league sources. He is viewed as a core player that the team definitely wants to keep.

Fantasy Tip: Cobb posted 91 receptions for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014, and he will turn 25 in August. He still has room for improvement. Fantasy owners are likely hoping he stays with Aaron Rodgers, as they have jelled together nicely in Cobb's first four NFL seasons.

Fantasy Tip: Cobb figures to be re-signed instead of hitting the free-agent market as he is coming off a career year in which he totaled 91 catches for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns. He'll remain in the WR1 conversation, especially in point-per-reception leagues, if/when he get re-signed.

Green Bay Packers LB Sam Barrington had both of his 2014 fines reduced, according to a source. Barrington was fined $16,537 for two different penalties -- a roughing the passer infraction and a horse collar tackle. It's unknown what the fines were reduced to.

Green Bay Packers WR Randall Cobb said prior to the start of the 2014 season that he would prove that he deserved a contract extension, and he finished the season with career highs in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns.

Fantasy Tip: Cobb established himself as one of Aaron Rodger's main targets and one of the most reliable fantasy receivers in the game. As long as he re-signs in Green Bay as expected, he should provide WR1 value in 2015.

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent CB Tramon Williams and the team have not yet begun talks on a new contract; and Williams doesn't even know if he's wanted back, according to his agent. Green Bay is currently focused on re-signing impending free-agents WR Randall Cobb and OT Bryan Bulaga, so Williams could simply be further down on the Packers' priority list.
